“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination

and life to everything.”

I like this wonderful quote by Plato, in my case Music has always been part of my life and luckily  for all my family music is important too.  I  used to play drums when I was younger and my brother plays the bass and guitar.  

Since I was a child I've always been exposed to music, however with the passing years my musical interests have changed a lot.  I remember that when I was 11 years old I listened to a song from Aerosmith called "Hole in my soul" that just blew my mind, and from that moment on started looking for more music. Among my favorite bands are Tool, deftones, in High school I loved grunge like pearl jam and smashing pumpkins,tc.) and I'm really lucky to say that I have seen most of my favorite bands live, whenever they come to Chile I always go to the concerts. 

The most amazing one I've ever seen was Roger Waters "The Wall" in 2012, It was so overwhelming.
I also love film soundtracks, some of them are Ennio Morricone who came to chile in 2013 with Mike Patton (Mondo Cane) it was a wonderful concert I had the opportunity to see, there is also Jon Brion who composed songs for a movie I like a lot  "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind"  and my favorite one, Danny Elfman, he has composed soundtracks for movies like: Big Fish, and Edward Scissorhands among many others. I can say that I'm a big fan of movies and music plays a relevant role there.
I also enjoy quiet music. I think that Sigur ros is one of those bands that helps me relax, and similar to this Post Rock style I listen to are "God is an astronaut" "If these trees could talk" "Explosions in the Sky" etc. And pop is also good, as well as Indie... I don't know, I think that a person can enjoy different types of music depending on their mood, context and stages of their lives. 
... And you?... Do you have any favourite band or musician?
